The Hur­ri­canes’ bowlers ex­e­cut­ed their plan bril­liant­ly, led by the ex­pe­ri­enced off-spin­ner Rah­keem Corn­wall, who dis­man­tled the Acad­e­my’s bat­ting line­up with fig­ures of 3-22. He was ably sup­port­ed by Daniel Do­ram, who al­so took three wick­ets for 34.

Over in Tarou­ba, the Bar­ba­dos Pride got the bet­ter of the Ja­maica Scor­pi­ons by 24 runs un­der the Duck­worth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method in their rain-af­fect­ed clash at the Bri­an Lara Acad­e­my.

Bat­ting first, the Bar­ba­dos Pride put up a chal­leng­ing to­tal of 260-8 in their al­lot­ted 50 overs with Leniko Bouch­er lead­ing the scor­ing with a sol­id 73, while Zachary Mc­Cask­ie con­tributed a pa­tient 63.
